STL Vaca

Last Thursday through Sunday Jeremy and I took a little vacation down to St. Louis to visit Jeff, Bobbi, Bella and Joshua. They're due with their 3rd little Cloeter in October and since we won't be able to go down there to visit after the baby because of harvest, we figured this was a good time to make the road trip. Not to mention we hadn't been to St. Louis for 2 years (they've done much more traveling up to MN!), and not to mention it was Bella's 5th birthday party on Saturday.

We went downtown one of the days and walked around by the arch, which I hadn't done in a few years. We also went to the Missouri Botanical Garden with the kids before Bella's party. Last time I was there, Bella was just a baby (when I told her that, she said she didn't remember ha)! Otherwise we just spent our time around Jeff and Bobbi's place. They have a little coffee shop and deli just up the block from their home that I think we visited daily. Great neighborhood!

Had such a wonderful time with Jeff, Bobbi and the kids, and we miss them already. We've got to live closer someday. I'm thinking their new cousin will be some incentive. Just a thought.

Bella playing dress up...Jer's thinking he wants a boy at this point
